construction. All, except the RV-3, RV-4 and RV-10 are available in both tricycle and taildragger configurations. All tricycle gear
model designations except the RV-10 carry an "A" at the end (e.g., RV-6A). All RVs are aerobatic, with the exception of
the RV-9 and RV-10.
The RV series of airplanes has been extremely successful; there are thousands of RVs flying, making the series one of the most
numerous of all homebuilt aircraft. They are generally suited for aerobatics with their responsive controls, and offer both good speed
and fuel economy.
Van's factory is located at Aurora State Airport, Oregon. This location serves as a point of an annual fly-in for Van's aircraft owners.
The recommended engine for the RV kit aircraft are air cooled Lycoming aircraft engines. The most popular engine models are the
4 cylinder 160 hp (I)O-320 and 180-200 hp (I)O-360 and can be either carbureted or fuel injected. The RV-10 model is a 4 place
aircraft and calls for the larger 6 cylinder fuel injected Lycoming IO-540 or the carbureted O-540 engine, which are rated between
235 and 260 hp. Some builders choose not to use the Lycoming engine and adapt automobile engines, typically Subaru and Mazda
rotary automobile engines for use as well. Depending on the engine, builders can also choose between a fixed pitch and constant
speed propeller.
